Moving from FreeBSD to Linux - why?

,----[ Quote ]
| Here is my list of why Linux is better than FreeBSD for me. Of course, 
| everyone will have their own ideas, but this is my article, so this is my 
| list!  
| 
|     * Better support...
| 
|     * Better tools...
| 
|     * Bigger installed base... 
| 
|     * More resources...
| 
|     * Fun...

FreeBSD as a Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Aside from the four somewhat limited titles discussed, I can play and 
| author CD's, DVD's, and movies using GNU and BSD licensed titles just 
| as the Linux counterparts can. NVidia also offers native accelerated 
| drivers for their cards, which deliver the same performance as the 
| Linux platform has. KDE, Gnome, Fluxbox, WindowMaker, and virtually 
| all software titles which have source available have been "ported" 
| to the BSD platform. Many proprietary titles, such as Opera, which
| is binary based, and QT dependent also work via Linux emulation 
| which no performance regrets.
